CRAIG MURRAY: ‘We, the people, must stop genocidal Israel and the vicious political class of killers’
“What struck me most about the ICJ ruling was that the Order went into far more detail about the evidence of genocide …
“Here Para 46 is crucial: ‘… [Recent] information indicates that 25,700 Palestinians have been killed, over 63,000 injuries have been reported, over 360,000 housing units have been destroyed or partially damaged and approximately 1.7 million persons have been internally displaced …’
“It is a finding of fact by the Court ….
“The Court then goes on to detail accounts … of the factual situation, quoting three different senior officials at length, including Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of UNRWA:
“‘…This has been the largest displacement of the Palestinian people since 1948.
“‘This war affected more than 2 million people — the entire population of Gaza. Many will carry lifelong scars, both physical and psychological …
“‘An entire generation of children is traumatized … Thousands have been killed …’
“This of course explains why the immediate response to the ICJ ruling was a coordinated attack by Israel and the combined imperialist powers …
“It is especially humiliating for Israel that the Court quoted … the President of Israel himself as giving clear evidence of genocidal intent, along with two other government ministers …
“‘… [Para 52] On 12 October 2023, Mr Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, stated, referring to Gaza: ‘… It is an *entire nation* out there that is responsible. It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved … We are at war. We are at war …

“On 13 October 2023, Mr Israel Katz, then Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of Israel, stated on X (formerly Twitter): ‘... All the civilian population in [G]aza is ordered to leave immediately … They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.’
“Again, this … is a finding of fact by the Court …
Herzog and Starmer.
“[The] very next day after President Herzog made a genocidal statement, as determined by the International Court of Justice, he was met and offered ‘full support’ by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission and Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament …
“[Israel has killed] over 180 Palestinian civilians since the Order was given from the International Court of Justice …
“… [People] like you and I continue to have a vital role, as everybody does, in using the power of the people to wrest control from a vicious political class of killers …”

‘Western imperialism and its crimes against humanity:
The essential role played by the BBC, CNN, Daily Mail, Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post and Rupert Murdoch media, et al.
“A study conducted by data scientists Dana Najjar and Jan Lietava looked at thousands of BBC articles between 7th October to 2nd December.
“They found a ‘systematic disparity in how Palestinian and Israeli deaths are treated’ …
“The words ‘murder’, ‘massacre’ and ‘slaughter’ are almost exclusively reserved for Israeli deaths.
“Mother, daughter, father, son, grandmother, grandfather, granddaughter and grandson are more likely to be linked to Israelis than Palestinians.
“The use of ‘killed’ when referring to Israelis and ‘died’ for Palestinians has continued …
“A separate study conducted by openDemocracy, which looked at broadcasts by BBC One news between 7th October to 4th November, found similar results.
“The phrases ‘murder’, ‘murderous’, ‘mass murder’, ‘brutal murder’ and ‘merciless murder’ were used a total of 52 times for Israeli deaths, but never for Palestinian deaths …
“The Intercept carried out a quantitative analysis of the media coverage between October 7th and November 24th, looking at more than 1,000 articles.
“They found that major newspapers like The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times showed a consistent bias against Palestinians.
“[They] ‘disproportionately emphasized Israeli deaths … used emotive language to describe the killings of Israelis, but not Palestinians; and offered lopsided coverage of antisemitic acts in the US …’
“For every two Palestinian deaths, Palestinians were mentioned once.
“For every Israeli death, Israelis were mentioned eight times.
“Words like ‘slaughter’, ‘massacre’ and ‘horrific’ are reserved almost exclusively for Israelis.
“They also found that young Israelis were referred to as ‘children’ but young Palestinians were described as ‘people’ …
“Another similar study looking at cable news (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC) between October 7th to November 7th by The Column found ‘the three largest US news media channels have displayed a clear and quantifiable bias in favor of Israel in its war on Gaza’.
“The research found the spokesperson for the Israeli Occupation Forces, Peter Lerner, was broadcast live on all three channels for a total of 19 days out of the first 30 days. Throughout these interviews, Lerner spoke freely without being challenged …
“Again, words like ‘massacre’ are almost exclusively reserved for Israelis …
“Associate Professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Mark Jones … also examined the UK press coverage …
“He found similar language bias when referring to Palestinian and Israeli deaths across the board, including outlets like Guardian.
“In the first 14 days of the genocide, he found that [the Daily Mail] had not mentioned the cumulative toll of Palestinian deaths once on their front page, despite mentioning the Israeli death toll …
“As the research shows, language has been an integral part of MSM strategy.
“The insidious use of phrases like, ‘Hamas-run Gaza’ are deliberate. It obfuscates the reality that Gaza has been under a brutal and illegal Israeli blockade for the last 17 years …
“A key strategy of MSM has been omission: from … not covering the huge pro-Palestine protests happening around the world, to not reporting on the continuous genocidal rhetoric by Israeli officials …
“The extraordinarily detailed 84 page filing by SA to the ICJ was not deemed newsworthy …
“MSM has continued to ignore numerous investigations that have exposed major flaws with the official Israeli narrative surrounding the events of October 7th …
“… [This is] the essential role that MSM plays in western imperialism and its crimes against humanity …”

I really don't understand why all the UK MSM employees aren't conscripted to fight for Ukraine and Israel. No human rights to resist. Fight or die. It'd teach that bunch of moral-free prostitutes what war is really all about: people dying to make the rich richer.
